Keep, for sure!<br /><br />And I'm trying that zipper trick on a jacket I have that has a sticky zipper. Thanks for the tip! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/angies-dress-pick#post-906191 Fri, 12 Apr 2013 19:05:56 +0000 rachylou 906191@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ This dress is so lovely on you, I'd struggle with the zip and keep it. You might try exchanging it, although I find zippers are often batch problems.<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/angies-dress-pick#post-906087 Fri, 12 Apr 2013 17:00:19 +0000 JuneBug 906087@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Gorgeous dress and it looks very good on you! Trying rubbing a candle on the zipper like a crayon for it to work. I also agree with Angie on the red skinny belt or red shoes!&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/angies-dress-pick#post-906051 Fri, 12 Apr 2013 16:08:28 +0000 Alecia 906051@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I fell in love with dress when Angie posted it. Now I'm beside myself over it. So great on you, Debbie. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/angies-dress-pick#post-906050 Fri, 12 Apr 2013 16:03:55 +0000 Anonymous 906050@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Love the dress, glad you are keeping.&nbsp; <br />Like Lyn67 said, I think the zipper problem is the way the dress is made not the zipper.&nbsp; This is how I deal with the same issue.<br /><br />Grasp the dress just below the zipper at the sticking point and pull down.&nbsp; <br />With the other hand grasp the zipper pull and push in as you pull up.<br />This always works for me.&nbsp; You pull the fabric tight and the zipper with not be as stressed.&nbsp; <br />Good luck. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/angies-dress-pick#post-906002 Fri, 12 Apr 2013 14:44:28 +0000 Angie 906002@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ My pleasure! Candle wax :)<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/angies-dress-pick#post-905706 Fri, 12 Apr 2013 02:54:33 +0000 Debbie 905706@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I tried the dress on again tonight. I am going to keep it. I will probably be frustrated every time I put it on but it. will be worth it because I love the dress.<br /> Angie I will try the lace bomber with it and I also have the Derek Lam for Kohls coming. Thanks so much Angie for recomending this dress. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/angies-dress-pick#post-905689 Fri, 12 Apr 2013 02:34:45 +0000 Angie 905689@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Perhaps your lace bomber could work as a topper?&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/angies-dress-pick#post-905240 Thu, 11 Apr 2013 17:33:42 +0000 Diana 905240@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ It looks great, Debbie!&nbsp; I sympathize about the zipper issue - I have several dresses with this problem.&nbsp; I think it's a combination of the waist seam and the fact that dress makers tend to use crummy zippers that pucker too much going over the seam.&nbsp; I don't think a different one will be better.&nbsp; Try some candle wax, if that does not work, usually if you pull the zipper band up taut (so it doesn't pucker at the seam) and zip it's easier (this works better if you have a helper).&nbsp; <br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/angies-dress-pick#post-905230 Thu, 11 Apr 2013 17:26:02 +0000 JennyK (NC) 905230@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I will echo what Lyn67 said - I have had many dresses where the zipper has to pass the waist/bodice seam and they are always difficult at that part. I guess I wouldn't hurt to exchange in case it really is a defect, but I'm not terribly hopeful about that. The things I've done are:<br /><br />1. struggle and curse until I'm either exhausted or I get the zipper up<br />2. reach back and pinch together when I'm zipping past that point (which may or may not involve cursing)<br />3. See if I can wiggle into it with the zipper undone only to the point just above that seam<br /><br />ETA - It's a gorgeous dress and looks great on you! Wonderful Spring/Summer look. Breezy and pretty.<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/angies-dress-pick#post-905086 Thu, 11 Apr 2013 15:04:02 +0000 Suz 905086@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ This is really pretty on you, Debbie.

You can add a red skinny belt if you like.<br /><br />(Candle wax is also very effective). <br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/angies-dress-pick#post-905045 Thu, 11 Apr 2013 14:16:53 +0000 Anonymous 905045@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This looks wonderful on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/angies-dress-pick#post-905044 Thu, 11 Apr 2013 14:14:37 +0000 Thistle 905044@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I love this on you!

One trick you could try before returning is soap. Run a cake of soap up and down the zipper and see of it runs better. Then wipe the zip of any flakes. Some times this is all it takes:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/angies-dress-pick#post-904875 Thu, 11 Apr 2013 07:24:45 +0000 lyn67 904875@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I know this Debbie!&nbsp;It's certainly because there is a lot of fabric there at the joint of the top part with the skirt, so I'm afraid this will not be much better on an exchanged dress, either. You'll have to hold close the 2 parts of the dess&nbsp;with a hand exactly where&nbsp;the zipper &nbsp;stucks (even a bit higher with 1-2") and then will hopefully work. (or will have to ask for help, from a family member:-)),<br />But, the dress is beautifull fits you like&nbsp; a glove! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/angies-dress-pick#post-904858 Thu, 11 Apr 2013 06:35:06 +0000 Lantana 904858@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a divine little dress. Well worth getting a replacement with a working zipper. Cute furry friend in the background too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/angies-dress-pick#post-904830 Thu, 11 Apr 2013 03:52:16 +0000 annagybe 904830@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ You look good in it. I've heard beeswax can make zippers glide easier, but look into a replacement first. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/angies-dress-pick#post-904826 Thu, 11 Apr 2013 03:45:41 +0000 Debbie 904826@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think I am going to try and exchange it. I love the dress but I am afraid I will break the zipper. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/angies-dress-pick#post-904777 Thu, 11 Apr 2013 02:36:40 +0000 goldenpig 904777@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ It looks nice on you! Too bad about the zipper! Can you talk to Customer Service and get an exchange?<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/angies-dress-pick#post-904775 Thu, 11 Apr 2013 02:35:24 +0000 Anonymous 904775@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ That is a great little summer dress at a good length. &nbsp;I wonder if the zipper is defective. &nbsp;You might want to get another replacement dress and send this one back if the zipper keeps sticking. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/angies-dress-pick#post-904770 Thu, 11 Apr 2013 02:28:44 +0000 Jaime 904770@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ It looks lovely on you Debbie! Do you think the zipper is badly made? Not sure what to suggest about that, but I hope you will keep the dress or get an exact replacement.
